Sweet & Spicy Seasoning

How often do you eat fish? 

We've discussed the benefits of fish here, here and also here.

For the busy professional, coming home to cook dinner is the last thing you want to do. Recently, I discovered frozen fish from my local Sam's club that can be thawed while at work & whipped into a meal within 15 minutes.

When checking out the frozen fish section, look for:
- Extremely short ingredient list ("Tilapia", "Flounder", "Salmon")
- There are some fish that are already seasoned but make sure you understand the ingredients before purchasing. Don't purchase items with words you don't know or artificial ingredients.
- Wild caught if possible

White fish does best with this seasoning. I love it so much that I make a big batch of it so I can store it in my cabinet for easy dinner prep. It's the perfect combination of sweet & spicy!

Favorite Fish Seasoning:
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp sea salt

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan on the stove (medium heat). Place fish in the pan & sprinkle seasoning on one side. After 3-4 minutes, flip the fish over and sprinkle with more seasoning. Allow fish to cook for 3-4 more minutes. Serve hot.

Pair with quinoa or brown rice as well as plenty of veggies (saute some on the stove or use an easy Steamfresh bag).
